How much does it cost to get from CDG Airport to Paris?

CDG to Paris is one of the most-traveled airport routes in Europe. Here's every option with honest pricing.

RER B train — cheapest rail option

• Price: €11.80 (single)
• Navigo Easy card: Load tickets on a rechargeable card at the station
• Journey: 35-50 minutes to Chatelet-Les Halles
• Runs: Every 10-20 minutes, 5 AM to midnight
• Stops in Paris: Gare du Nord (25 min), Chatelet-Les Halles (35 min), Saint-Michel-Notre-Dame (38 min), Denfert-Rochereau (50 min)

The RER B is the backbone of CDG transport. It's efficient but has drawbacks: crowded during rush hour, pickpocket risk, and no luggage racks in standard cars. Buy tickets from machines at the station (accept cards) or use the Ile-de-France Mobilités app.

Roissybus — comfortable middle option

• Price: €16.60
• Journey: 60-75 minutes to Opéra
• Runs: Every 15-20 minutes, 5:15 AM to 12:30 AM
• Luggage: Stored underneath the coach

Direct, comfortable, air-conditioned. The downside is traffic — during rush hour, the journey can stretch to 90 minutes. Buy tickets online, from machines, or tap your contactless card.
